    Uploaded by

    Abdus Samad
    This document contains a checklist for inspecting pile hammers and pile driving operations. It includes checks for equipment approval, determining pile tip elevations, entering driving data, monitoring pile alignment and splicing, setting hammer energy levels, and criteria for determining when to stop driving including minimum tip elevation, meeting wave equation criteria, reaching refusal, being within cutoff elevation, and checking for heaving. The checklist aims to ensure proper equipment and procedures are followed to safely and effectively install piles according to project specifications.

    PILE HAMMER CHECKS
    1 Is the Contractor using the approved hammer system?
    2 Is pile driving equipment data sheet on site?
    3 Is the pile drive head approved?
    4 Is the Cap block ( hammer) cushion approved and suitable for the driving equipment?
    5 Is the pile cushion approved and suitable for the driving equipment?
    If  followers are to be used, were they approved by the engineer or specified in the
    6 contract documents? 
    Do you have a reference elevation so that you know where the pile cut‐off  is and can 
    7 determine tip elevations and penetration?
    8 Have you determined the pile tip elevation?
    Have you determined the pile driving criteria using set  penetration as per wave 
    9 equation? 

    PILE DRIVING CHECKS
    10 Has all pre‐driving data been entered on the pile driving record? 
    11 Has the "Minimum Tip Target" mark been determined and entered?
    Has the "stop for spot check" mark been determined and entered? ( [Pile length ‐ cut‐
    12 off  elev.‐Ref.elev.)
    Are the piles within allowable tolerance? (Make sure pile is aligned according to the 
    13 plans.)
    14 Are piles marked in the correct intervals?
    15 Is the hammer warmed up and set on the proper energy setting for starting out?
    16 If  concrete pile requires splicing, is it as approved?
    17 If  concrete pile requires splicing, is it as approved?
    Has it been determined at what intervals to check the hammer cushion with a view 
    18 for replacement?
    Has it been determined at what intervals to check the pile cushion with a view for 
    19 replacement?

    WHEN TO STOP
    20 Is there a Minimum Tip Elevation specified?
    21 If  Yes, has the pile reached Minimum Tip Elevation?
    Has the Pile met the driving criteria specified in  wave equation set penetration by the 
    22 engineer?
    23 Has the Pile reached Practical Refusal as set by the engineer?
    24 Is the top of  the pile within 600mm of  Cut‐off  elevation
    25 Have any of  the piles heaved?
    26 Once the substructure is complete have you sent in the pile driving records?
